Please do not split topics across several threads. This makes following the conversation in the threads view very hard as the context of the other messages is missing. If you have additional information either edit the original message or post to its thread. Also please don't post such walls of text, especially for mobile users they make the channel very hard to follow. Better just post a short message and then more details in it's thread as also the participation rules here suggest (see the channel canvas). And please never anywhere share screenshots of text if you only want to share the text and not something additional like colors or IDE annotations. Text in images is hard to read, especially on mobile, very hard to copy, and nearly impossible to search for. Regarding the problem, it has not really much to do with Gradle, there is some problem with Android specific tooling. And even the error message tells you concretely that this should not happen and you should report an issue. So search in the AGP bug tracker for an existing issue or report a new one if there is none.
